One of the apps that I'm working on recently received phishing detection by BitDefender service. I wonder, what may the cause such a scenario?
It uses up to date version of the WordPress.
Here is the report:

I've already written to BitDefender for an extra explanation but didn't receive any info yet.
This site tells me that from their perspective something is not OK:
https://zulu.zscaler.com/submission/e9aa7749-b684-467a-be17-fe874eaf6514
Could that be the 302 redirect from non-secure to secure version of the website that causes the issue? Should I switch to 301 instead?
Thanks in advance for any clue.
I've already resolved the issue. In fact, someone reported us (probably competitor) and the default strategy in such case is to mark page us phishing. For de-listing, I've contacted BitDefender directly and they did manual check and delisting after 3-4 days.
Thanks, everyone for your effort!

since some days ago I got an error if I try to update menues and some pages.
I get a white Page with 411 requiered length error.
Never had this before.
Wordpress 5.8 and before.
Any idea?
Thanks.
Check if you gave BitDefender activated. It seems to have received some kind of an update that blocks some requests. I had this issue with my website too, also with several others and disabling Protection Shield solved the issue.
Yes, Bitdefender is the problem. But I tried other AV programs to compare, including Windows Defender and Avast, and the problem does not exist with them. This seems to be a BD-specific issue, which I hope someone will fix. I like Bitdefender (Free), but this is really a nuisance. It's also theoretically dangerous to suspend malware protection.
When my site's WordPress admin dashboard is loading, I get a suspicious message on the bottom-left of the page, saying Waiting for meetlookup.com....
The message should be Waiting for <my_domain>.<my_tld>...
I think my site has been hacked by some malicious plugin or theme, but I don't know how to address the problem.
in my experience, that's caused by browser extension, you can try with disable your extension and try reload.
I don't have an answer or certain solution, but I was experiencing the same behavior on one of my desktops. Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa using Chrome Version 91.0.4472.77
I ran a security check of my extensions with nothing coming back as suspect. I disabled one (Getcolor) and cannot replicate the "waiting for meetlookup.com" after that. Interestingly that particular extension that I just installed to use once last week appears to no longer be listed in the Chrome web store.
It is spyware. After uninstalling all extensions are gone. I recommend changing your passwords as they were exposed :(
I'm receiving strange emails can't stop them even using re-captcha in my site where it says they're comming from.
My answer to you is that you should redirect your question to https://wordpress.stackexchange.com
You're not giving us any information for your WordPress configuration to help determine what might be happening. I am guessing, but this looks like your form has been exploited. My suggestion would be to disable your forms to see if that stops the traffic. I also suggest you look at your WordPress configurations and disable comments or any other way someone can contact you, since that could be the other issue.
Good luck.
I have a problem with Wordpress and the Search Console. The Search Console from Google tells me that I have a crawling error on the smartphone.
The error details are:
Googlebot could access your site, but certain URLs are blocked for Googlebot Mobile for smartphones in your robots.txt. These URLs are not included in the "Blocked URLs" report and may have been blocked unintentionally.
I have already seen the customize.php, but I have no idea what I should change or how I can solve the problem.
Any help would be appreciated! Additionally, are there detailed instructions anywhere for beginners? Many thanks in advance!!

Have you made sure that WordPress is not configured to tell search bots to not index your site? Login to your admin, then navigate to Settings -> Reading and make sure 'Discourage search engines from indexing this site' is not ticked.
Here is a screenshot to help you find it
Thank you for your quick reply. I have been convinced for safety, but the function is switched off for me.
I have a community server website, i have contact us page enabled in it, but for a reason i don't know its not working.

Yours is not a programming question and doesn't really belong on stackoverflow.
